CORRECT
#like I'm not Committed to shipping in OOTS in general- but Durkon and Belkar's relationship is fucking excellent#it tests me. which makes perfect sense#given one of my other favorite dynamics is 'morally bankrupt guy becomes infuriated at other man for causing him to develop morals'#'while said other guy carries on about his business only half-aware of the impact he's had'#see: javert and valjean#so. yeah! Durkon causing a moral crisis in Belkar just by Being Himself and that is Being *Good*#and extending that goodness and decency and forgiveness to Belkar- and that being unimaginable and UNTENABLE to belkar#oooh it's fucking excellent#cue joke about vampire stakes and penetration#god drives me wild. Belkar knowing him seeing him and that the vampire is NOT HIM while everyone else falls for it. it's so fucking good.#of course he's the one to stake him.#why did you rip your shirt off durkon you weren't wearing armor that would have blocked the stake??#probably just for visual and emphatic effect but. cmon#oots#it's the moment where belkar goes from being half-pretending to be decent and sort of tricking himself into doing pro-social things#to legitimately struggling with the actual reality of goodness. it's not a game anymore that he's trying to cheat at.#does that mean he's fixed his shit? absolutely not. but he can't just laugh it off anymore.#love oots.#thank god I'm not the only one that even Considered this sfhjgdfdf

hi! i loved Drive Thru Test and i was wondering if you'd actually write charles calling y/n his girlfriend and then her not wearing the ring. i think that would just be really funny and he'd be so cute whining. im not trying to rush you and I'd be happy to wait for the fic!
Hi! Yes, it would be very funny because i donāt think Charles realizes that he proposed to a Drama Queen. I donāt know if it turned out like you wanted it to but I really hope you like it!
FiancƩ Girlfriend
Charles Leclerc x Hispanic/Latina! Reader
Summary: After a month of being engaged, Charles isnāt used to calling Y/N his fiancĆ©, and accidentally calls her his girlfriend AGAIN. Y/N being true to her words, decides to stop wearing her ring.
Warning: the usual spelling and grammatical errors, VERY bad photoshop.
A/N: I am on my period and it SUCKS, i havenāt been able to get much sleep sadly and i really want chocolate and thereās no chocolate in my house š© also, if I were to ever give Charles and Y/N a dog in my fanfics, it will not be Leo since he is a Saint Mleux as well, not just a Leclerc
(His face when he realized he messed up)
Y/N was in the paddock at the Monaco Grand Prix, she had to be there for Charlesās home race. She was happy she did, Charles got P1, Max P2, and Lando P3. Charles kissed her when he got out of the car, she saw his podium ceremony, literally the best GP sheās been to, nothing could mess up her mood. She was in the hospitality snacking on whatever they were offering her while watching the post race interview on the TV and something happened.
āSo Charles, we saw you kissing Y/N after your big Home Race win, how long have you guys been together?ā The interviewer asked.
āYes, my girlfriend and I have been together for 5 years.ā Charles said and his eyes widened. Max and Lando were also looking at him like āooh, sheās gonna kill youā āWait, no, thatās not what I meant..ā Charles started but the interviewer ignored him and started asking Max and Lando questions.
Y/N was in shock, how dare Charles call we his girlfriend on live television. So Y/N did what any normal person would do, she took off her ring and placed it securely in the inside pocket of her purse.
Charles in the other hand was panicking after the interview.
āOkay, try not to panic.ā Lando said.
āThat ship has sailed, Lando. Iām panicking, Iām fucking panicking!ā Charles was paving around the room.
āThereās probably a good chance she didnāt see the post race interview.ā Lando said.
āAnd if she did? I already called her my girlfriend once, you know what she said she would do if I do it again? Take off her ring.ā Charles said.
āMaybe she was bluffing, she wouldnāt actually go through with that, she loves you too much. I have never seen a couple love each other so much.ā Max said and Charles smiled.
āYouāre right, Max, she loves me, sheād never take off the ring.ā Charles said. He left the room to go to the hospitality and saw Y/N eating fries. āMon ange! Did you see the interview?ā
āMuƱeco! Yes I did.ā Y/N said.
āI am so sorry, I really am.ā Charles takes Y/Nās hand in his and noticed something was missing. āMon ange, whereās your ring?ā
āWhat ring, muƱeco?ā Y/N asked, feigning innocence.
āYour ring, your engagement ring, where is it?ā Charles asked.
āCharles, I donāt know what you are talking about, why would I have a ring? Itās not like Iām your fiancĆ© or anything, Iām just your girlfriend.ā Y/N said and Charles pouted.
āIām sorry! I swear I am so very sorry, I didnāt mean it.ā Charles begged for forgiveness.
āLetās go home, muƱeco, can we order in?ā Y/N asked.
āYeah sure, anything you want, mon coeur.ā Charles said. They were walked to the car and as soon as they got in, Charles expected Y/N to put her ring back on since they are not āin publicā anymore but she didnāt, the ring was still off. āSo mon ange, have you been thinking about when would you want the wedding?ā
āWedding? What wedding? Weāre not even engaged, Charles.ā Y/N said. You know the saying āif they go low, I go lowerā? Y/N is going as low as the depths of hell for a slip of the tongue.
āMon ange, is not funny anymore.ā Charles whined.
āDid you order food?ā Y/N asked.
āYes I did, weāre picking it up.ā Charles said.
āCool.ā Y/N said.
The drive to the restaurant and back home was silent.
āOkay, weāre back home now.ā Charles said as they entered the apartment.
āYes muƱeco, Im aware.ā Y/N said but she still didnāt put her ring back on.
āMon ange please wear your ring.ā Charles begged, wrapping his arms around her waist, her back to his chest. āPlease, I promise to announce our engagement on Instagram.ā Charles kisses her neck. āPlease just wear the ring, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, you are the best fiancĆ© a man could ever have.ā Charles whispered in her ear as he places little neck kisses.
Y/N turned around and saw Charles pouring with teary eyes and she felt her heart melt.
āAw muƱeco, okay, Iāll wear my ring. But promise the whole world will know we are engaged. I love that you want your friends and family to know first, but it hurts me when you still call me your girlfriend.ā Y/N said and Charles kisses her forehead.
āI know, mon ange. Weāre going to let the whole world know that youāre my fiancĆ©.ā Charles kissed her passionately.

The straw hat crew with reader who likes to give them compliments, but hates it when the crew gives reader compliments?
compliments - with the straw hat crew
a/n: ahhh thank you for the request!! it's been a long time since i've written a fic like this, so hopefully i can do it some justice!! š (i like skimmed proof-read this so forgive me if there is some grammatical and spelling errors šš)
a/n: (also sorry, the sanji girlie in me is always going to bring it back to sanji, so yeah... there's some sanji x reader in here too ššš)
a/n: ((sorry idk how to tag this guys šššššš))
word count: fuck idk man, its kinda long though (hehehe that's what she said)
nothing but fluff hereš
---------------------------------------------------------------------
it has only been two weeks since you first joined the straw hat pirates, and it was definitely a huge change of pace from your life before them. the crew, as eccentric, spontaneous, and bold, as they are were also some of the kindest people you had ever met. you couldn't help but be in total awe of them. i mean- how could you not? the amount of countries they've helped, people freed from oppression, friends they have defended and supported even when the whole world was against them...
it was hard not to feel insignificant, through no fault of theirs, it was just a lot to live up to.... and it was hard to feel enough at times.
ā¢ ā” ā¢
while your time being apart of the crew is nothing to write home about, hardly even considering yourself a true member yet, you still couldn't help but be utterly amazed with the people around you, and you just couldn't help yourself but to let them know.
mornings on the sunny were truly a special time. the mouth watering smells leaking out from under the kitchen door, as well as the sounds of a soft melody from brooke's violin fill the ship.
"good morning brooke! what song are you playing? it sounds wonderful!" you ask as you made you way to the kitchen, too eager to see what wonders awaited for breakfast
"yohoho!! just a ballad i've been composing!" he replied, sharing a smile with you before you turn and open the kitchen door.
"it smells delicious sanji!! seriously, im salivating out there! when's breakfast going to be ready?"
a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, but after a quick drag from his cigarette he quickly regains his composure "you're actually right on time! i just finished up!!"
ā¢ ā” ā¢
after breakfast, you weren't surprised to find zoro working out, as he had told you "any second not training, drinking, or sleeping, is a waste" one of your first nights on the ship. you watched in awe as he carried an inhuman amount of weight with ease, not even breaking a sweat.
feeling your stare, his eyes wander to meet yours, "need something?"
"oh! um.. no sorry!! i just can't believe you can lift that so easily!! you're not even sweating!"
"well yeah, this is just my warm up" he replied, a small smirk appearing from the corner of his lips as you wandered away
ā¢ ā” ā¢
in the girl's shared bedroom, you found nami hunched over her desk, carefully and slowly drawings lines for yet another one of her maps. it had been a few days since you had seen this particular map, so you quietly peered over her shoulder to see her progress
"nami, this is incredible!! i could've sworn two days ago there was only a vague outline on this page!! look at that detail!!"
she turned around, beaming at you "thanks!! after years of practice i could draw a map this simple with my eyes closed!"
ā¢ ā” ā¢
the sounds of sawing and nails being pounded into wood grew too loud for you to ignore, so you finally decided to leave the girls room to see what the commotion was all about.
in the three seconds it took you to get to the door, the sounds had ceased. curiosity overtaking you, you couldn't help but step out and see what had caused it all.
the first think that caught your eye was a small greenhouse the seemingly appeared out of thin air, since it definitely wasn't here earlier, and usopp and franky opening up some colas nearby
chopper ran up to you, giddy with excitement "do you want to see the new greenhouse usopp and franky made? its perfect for all my medicinal herbs! now i can grow them here on the sunny!!"
taking the small deers hoof into your hand, you followed him down the stairs to the greenhouse. "wow!!! you guys just built this?"
"franky drew up the plans after breakfast and did the labor, and i added a special watering system!" usopp chimes in, ready to boast about their design, and for good reason
"consider me impressed!!! i may even dare to say that it's SUPER!" you proclaim, earning giggles from all three of the boys
ā¢ ā” ā¢
the following morning you woke up with a purpose. stars still in the sky from how early it was, you tiptoed out of the shared bedroom and to the kitchen. trying to be as quiet as possible, not wanting anyone to hear you, you turned on the lights and gathered the ingredients to make some lemon bars, as a thank you for the crew, they did save your life after all.
as you baked, occasionally glancing out the kitchen window every once in a while you slowly saw the stars leave the sky, the moon disappear, and the sun slowly beginning to rise. its just about dawn now and your lemon bars had finally finished chilling, ready to be cut and served.
sanji, a typical early riser since he has to prep and cook breakfast, opened the kitchen door shocked to see the lights already on and you inside. "oh! mellorine!! i didn't expect to see your beautiful face this early! to what do i owe this pleasure?" he asks.
"sanji.. i'm not- um.... i just made some lemon bars... as a thank you for the crew.. maybe we could eat them with breakfast if thats okay..."
"of course we can!!! im sure i can whip up some stuff that would compliment them perfectly! get some rest! it's still super early, i'll call when breakfast is ready!"
ā¢ ā” ā¢
"breakfast!!!" sanji's voice rings throughout the sunny, and slowly but surely everyone made their way to the kitchen, you being the last to arrive. once you had been seated, you noticed sanji walking his way over to the table, with your tray of lemon bars in hand as he announces "this morning we also have a very special dish prepared by our newest member!"
luffy's eyes widen as he looks over at you and practically shouts in excitement "wow!! i didn't know you could cook! what did you make? im sure its amazing!!! i want some!!"
with all eyes on you, you couldn't help but feel a bit shy, the confidence and determination you had this morning suddenly dissipated "just some lemon bars... its really nothing special... i just wanted to thank you guys.. for everything.. it's just you're all so amazing, you guys are crazy talented and strong and so kind and thoughtful... its really nothing special... i'm sure they don't even hold a candle to the elaborate desserts sanji makes every night..." you mumble, cheeks burning red with embarrassment.
"i'm sure they're delicious! definitely better than anything our captain could ever make" nami says with a sly smile. "all this talk about food is making me even more hungry!! let's finally eat guys!" luffy shouts, grabbing for the closest plate of food to him, too impatient to wait any longer.
ā¢ ā” ā¢
one chaotic, fast and messy breakfast later, and all the plates on the table were practically licked clean.
"thank you for breakfast sanji, you outdid yourself as always! those omelets and the potatoes, freshly squeezed orange juice, delicious as always!" you said absolutely glowing, sanji's breakfasts truly were the best, you wonder how you ever lived a life without them before.
"thank you mellorine!! but those lemon bars! they were divine!! who taught you how to bake?" he asks.
before you can get a reply in, the entire crew bursts into an uproar of compliments.
"yeah!!! i never knew you could make stuff like that!! i might have you replace sanji!!!" luffy exclaims
"i totally would've thought sanji made them if you hadn't said anything!" nami says, usopp nodding along and adding "yeah!! i was totally worried they would be bad at first because you seemed so nervous, but i can't believe sanji didn't make them!"
a soft spoken "absolutely delicious" coming from robin
zoro, lifting his head up and meeting you eyes, decided to chime in on the topic "i guess they were good." but after an intense glare from sanji then mumbles "...really good" his cheeks flushing ever so slightly.
"they were SUPER!!!!" franky shouts, causing luffy, chopper, and usopp to giggle.
and by this point, the compliments became a bit overwhelming. you didn't feel confident enough to accept them, but didn't want to be rude and ignore them either. your silence was definitely noticed by the crew who began to quiet down a bit as your face grew hotter and hotter, blush way too visible to hide behind your hair, you looked down and muttered as quietly as possible "they're really nothing special... im glad you guys liked them though..." and rushed out of the kitchen as fast as you possibly could.
ā¢ ā” ā¢
you retreated to the crow's nest to collect yourself. it was truly the perfect spot on the sunny to get some alone time. out of sight from everyone, but still in a spot where you can enjoy the warm sun, the ocean breeze, and the sound of the waves crashing as you sail the sea.
thankfully, you managed to leave a book up here the previous day, so once you caught your breath and the blush cleared from your face, you read. just to take your mind off of the interaction with the crew.
ā¢ ā” ā¢
you weren't sure how much time had passed, as you had gotten unexpectedly absorbed in the story of your book, but it wasn't until you heard the sound of a lighter.
you look up to meet the sky-blue eyes of sanji, he takes a drag of his cigarette before taking a seat on the floor next to you. the two of you sat together for moment of silence, minus the sound of the waves beneath you both. a quiet sigh leaves his mouth, before he breaks the silence "i just wanted to apologize. i didn't mean to put you on the spot in there. we didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"no you don't owe me an apology! really! it's fine!! i know you guys were just trying to be nice and compliment me but.... i don't know... " you paused to collect your thoughts for a second. trying to word how you felt. sanji waiting patiently, taking a couple drags before you finally found the words to continue talking.
"it's just hard sometimes.. to feel like i'm good enough... especially around you guys, i mean the countless people and countries you guys have saved, your strength, your kindness... sometimes, i guess i just feel like a fraud being in the same crew..."
sanji took a moment to consider your words and feelings, and with a quiet sigh said "yeah.. i get it. it's funny because i actually feel the same way sometimes... but you know, luffy chose you to be here for a reason, and even if you don't see that, he does. we all do. we all serve a purpose on the crew, one thats invaluable to our captain, and he has no doubts about what that is."
finally turning to meet those sky-blue eyes, you looked at sanji with a small smile. "thanks, that really means a lot.."
he returned your smile with a bigger one and replied "of course!! i mean.... come on, those were some damn good lemon bars and i think luffy would kill me if you never made them again."
you shoved his shoulder, and in between laughs, you look over and sanji and reply "whatever!!"
and it was at this moment, for the very first time under the warm summer sun and ocean breeze blowing through your hair and the faint smell of sanji's cigarette smoke, that you began to felt a little more sure of your place in the straw hat pirates...
---------------------------------------------------------------------

one piece characters after a fight (it was their fault)
includes: fighting, shitty apologies (that get corrected), sanji groveling, gn reader, me being too lazy to proof read
characters: zoro, sanji, crocodile, buggy
zoro
wonāt actually apologize at first. he knows when he fucks up, but he refuses to admit it because of his ego. youāll walk into your room to find your favorite snack, a new clothing item, shoes, etc. on your bed as his āapologyā. unfortunately, a gift is not an āiām sorryā and you donāt care about shattering his ego temporarily.
you walked into your room and sat on the bed was a soft, high quality sweater with a cute design that was basically made for you. it so happened that you and zoro got into a pretty big fight last night. you were training together and zoro took your weight from you, took off a couple rings, and handed it back, āyouāre way too weak for that much, taking more than you can handle is just gonna result in failureā. ohhhh he had done it. you immediately got offended and blew up at him, going at it for a solid half hour until you just gave up. you marched over to zoro, shoved the sweater into his hands, and demanded an apology. āsay sorry, i wonāt forgive you, much less accept the gift, until you say youāre sorryā you said, crossing your arms. āi didnāt do nothinā wrongā he mumbled in response. you shook your head and walked away, deciding he had earned himself the silent treatment. āwait! wait, wait, okay hold on,ā he said, and you paused. āokay, well, that was shitty of me andā¦ā he huffed a little, āiām sorry for calling you weak, i just wanted to look out for you, that was really rude of me. iām sorry.ā turning back around, you smiled, knowing you had finally won and beat the ego barrier. āapology acceptedā you took the sweater back and gave him a kiss, and he looked so, so much less cocky now.
sanji
you and sanji donāt fight often, and when you do he is groveling at your feet BEGGING for forgiveness. heāll cry and moan, offering gifts and services as a peace offering. itās always a little fun to mess with when he really fucks up though. it also really does not take long for him to apologize, he hates making you upset.
while out shopping for groceries with sanji to restock, you decided to go to the fruit stand right outside the deli sanji stopped at. there were some new fruits you had never tried in the mix, and you were sampling some of them. dragonfruit, rose apples, rambutans, they were so good! while sampling a lychee and thinking of a dessert you could make with it, you overheard your boyfriend talking to someone. you turned around to see him hitting on someone entering the deli on his way out, heart eyes and all. āiām sorry, could you hold my order for a few minutes?ā you asked, glaring in sanjiās direction, āi need to take care of something, iāll be back in an hour or lessā you stomped over to sanji, the fruit stand owner having a āyeah heās fuckedā look on their face. you grabbed your boyfriend by the shoulders and spun him around, āsanji, my dearest. what the actual fuck is wrong with you?! flirting with someone else, especially when iām only 20 feet away from you? have you no shame? no class? the audacity is amazing me.ā sanji managed to stutter out a few āuh, i uh, uhmās but failed. you dragged him back to the ship, threw him in the kitchen, and went back to grab your fruit and everything else on your shopping list alone. sanji was not getting let off easy today. when you came back, sanji was sitting in a corner of the kitchen crying. seeing you, he immediately ran to you, kneeling at your feet. āiām sorry! that was mean, and stupid, and cruel, and gross, and dumb, and pervy, iām sorry! i donāt deserve to be your boyfriend, iām a no good dirty cook! please forgive meā he begged. you could tell he was truly sorry, but this was a little funny, and you were still mad. āno, not forgiven. your actions speak louder than your words, sanji. why should i forgive you?ā you asked. sanji just sobbed more, āiām so sorry! i love you so much, nobody is better than you! youāre the most stunning, most beautiful, most sexy, more gorgeous, most cute person in the world! iāll do and get you anything you want, anything!ā nah, you liked this too much. āhmmā¦ keep begging, this is fun.ā you said. that went on for a longgg time before you forgave himā¦ and gave zoro some bullying material.
crocodile
heās aware of when he does something wrong and makes it a quick apology with a LAVISH gift. on the few times he really made you angry/upset, he took you on a vacation or made an insane purchase for you.
crocodile had been gone for months, eleven to be exact. normally youād still have regular communication via transponder snail, but he hadnāt called you or picked up your calls in almost two months. you grew so sad and lonely, having only house staff to talk to. you hadnāt gone out at all either, just staying at home passing time by reading or doing art. it had been officially eleven months and sixteen days since he had been gone when you were having tea with one of the guards and discussing your latest read. you both had started reading books at the same time like a mini book club to keep you occupied. then, your husband barged into the room. āsweetheart, iām so happy to see you. missed you, cāmere and give me a hugā he said. you just froze up and the tears came without warning. all you could do was break down in your seat, teacup dropping from your hand onto the saucer, spilling onto the table. the guard immediately began to clean up the spill while crocodile just stared at you, shocked and just confused. āhey, hey, iām sorry. i thought iād be home sooner, or have time to visit. baby, please, i-ā he stopped, placing a hand on your shoulder and rubbing circles as you sobbed. you were sad, angry, and happy all at the same time. you were upset, but grateful to see him. āi thought- i thought you died! you didnāt call or- or write to me andā¦ā you continued to break down. crocodile picked you up, making sure to pause to know if youād be upset or not if he did, and carried you to your shared bedroom. the whole time he gave apologies and comfort to you. after sitting you down and letting you cry into his chest for a bit, he had you stay seated and re dressed you into your favorite comfy clothes. he laid down beside you, and you laid on his chest sniffling while he pet your hair. after a bit of silence, he spoke again āiām sorry, my sweet angel. i didnāt mean to scare you so bad, i got really busy, i shouldāve made better time for you. i shouldāve made you more of a priority like i normally do. do you forgive me?ā he asked. you nodded your head as a yes, and he kissed it. the rest of the day you spent with him, cuddling and reading together. the next day, you woke up to one of the most thoughtful gifts heās ever given. āi know you have the bananawani, but theyāre not really great for cuddling or playing as adults. i thought you could use a companion for the times i canāt take you with, and for the times i can. here, theyāre yours, name themā he said to you as you woke up to two sweet little kittens purring in your lap. āand i packed a bag for you and the kittens, weāre going on a vacation. i think we needed a second vacation home.ā
buggy
heās so weird with apologies. heāll refuse to say sorry and pout like a child, but the second you take away boyfriend privileges heās crying.
you and buggy fought semi often, but it was never bad. mostly you scolding him or saying i told you so. this was one of those rare moments where buggy actually made you angry instead of mildly irritated. buggy is a clown, a silly guy! a silly guy who likes pranks, and takes them too far sometimes. buggy thought it would be hilarious to use his chop chop fruit powers to trick you into thinking he actually got seriously injured in a fight. he came on deck limping, two crewman acting as crutches. one of his legs past the knee was missing, and it was dripping with blood. āholy shit! buggy! what happened?!ā you screamed, rushing over to help. he acted like he was out of it and in pain, only mumbling replies that didnāt even make sense. you got him laid down, made a tourniquet out of his bandana, and began to wipe up the blood with a cloth you snagged. and slowly, you realized he was fucking with you. you dropped the rag and stood up, āokay, no, what the fuck is wrong with you?ā you asked before storming away. āit was just a joke! it was funny!ā he yelled. you avoided him for the rest of the day, and he knew he had really done it this time, but like hell he was admitting it. when it was time for bed, you were cozied up and watching a storm through your window. buggy entered the room, sitting down beside you and getting ready to cuddle up next to you, until you stopped him. āabsolutely not, get out. you can figure out somewhere else to sleep tonight.ā you said. buggy gave you a āhuh?ā look. āhaha, youāre funny. do you want me to put on some music? i got a new-ā you cut him off, āiām serious, buggy. out, now.ā his cheery expression dropped into an agitated one. āit was just a prank, calm down! itās not my fault that you canāt take a joke!ā he exclaimed. āi said outā you said, pointing to the door. he stopped, looking defeated. he began to walk over to the door, until he turned around all teary eyed and sad. āiām sorry! please forgive me, really, iām really sorry! iāll never do it again, i swear!ā he begged. after a little more, you gave in and fell asleep listening to the storm in his arms. and his snoring.

If you don't mind answering, why do you ship Tom Riddle and Harry Potter? Besides the whole issue that they are enemies, and the age difference, both characters are heterosexual. It's canonical fact. If it's the dynamic you like... Have you thought about Tomione's ship? They have a lot of potential together. And in the right direction, they would be a couple that could make it in the books.
JDKLJKLFJSDLKFJA This kinda feels like people knocking on your door and trying to get you to believe in their religion. It's pretty funny.
I don't know why are you calling issues to a part of the pairing's appeal lkajdsjfs (And Hermione is Harry's age and they are on the same side too?). And not sure about that canonical fact. Harry can be read as bisexual quite easily and Voldemort|Tom... idk he seems more obsessed with power, immortality, and Harry. But even if that's the case, I don't see why it should matter. We're in fandom after all.
I don't know if I'll be able to convey why I like this ship so much. For starters, I'm really into the unique connection they share. There was a piece of Voldemort's soul inside Harry's; they had a mental link; a whole language they're the only ones to speak (for the most part); Voldemort chose him and marked him; and there's even a prophecy that linked them together. There aren't two people more connected than them. They're soulmates, and the fact that Voldemort didn't intend it and Harry hates it adds another layer of complexity.
But not only that, they're like a broken reflection of each other, which I find fascinating. In his second year, Harry was worried about the similarities between them. Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles, they both considered Hogwarts their first real home. I feel like they would have really understood each other in other circumstances. They would have been friends. Because one of their key differences is that Harry found friends and adults that loved him while Tom was probably bullied and, y'know, the whole Dumbledore thing.
Not to mention that Harry would die for everyone whereas Tom would kill everyone. They're insane in their own way. I love their similarities and differences, but more than anything else, I love when they're together. The fanfics and fanarts are awesome.
And the whole thing of being enemies feels quite gay sometimes klafjdlskfja. Harry can't help but think Tom is handsome and, despite everything Voldemort did, Harry wanted to give him one last chance to show remorse. I have no doubt Harry is crazy enough to actually forgive him.
I've thought about Tomione and I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it. pinktom has a really good post about it and I agree with it. Besides, Hermione liked Ron and had something with Krum, and they're nothing like Tom. Just because she's heterosexual doesn't mean she's attracted to any man, y'know? klajdlfkdjs I don't think they would have been a couple in the books, no matter the direction. If it's the dynamic you like, have you thought about Tomarry? More believable, more intense, and a wider range of wholesomeness to fucked up in the fics. It's really interesting. Unless you don't like men being together? Hmm? Suspicious (just kidding. To each their own. So no need to go to other people's asks to try to change their minds :kek:).
Also Harry is my favorite character and he's not replaceable. I kinda don't care about any other character tbh. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

So about Caitvi...
I'm no one to judge whether or not caitvi is good representation. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy if the lesbians watching the show are happy.
...you know what does piss me off though? A teeny tiny bit more than just "a little"?
Seeing some people defend the absence of a conversation between Caitlyn and Vi with "actions matter more than words".
Like...okay, first thing first, season 2 makes it pretty clear that's bullshit given how every other pairing previously at odds resolved things through the almighty power of talking things out: Vander wrote a letter to Silco and they became gay dads in the au, Ekko went through all possible combinations of words to convince Jinx not to blow herself up, and whatever the fuck Viktor and Jayce had going on in the finale... So yeah, crazy thing to say about this season;
Secondly, when we say "actions matter more than words", are we just not counting the verbal promise of not changing followed by abuse/ pain caused by the very much action of hitting a victim of police brutality who has utterly betrayed herself and her people for the sake of helping the same exact person who hit her because she pointed out "hey, maybe don't risk shooting a child"?
GRANTED this and most of what I'll say next is applicable to most of season 2 imo- we barely get to sit with the seriousness of a situation we just have to skip to the next one, so I wouldn't say it's a caitvi thing alone... nevertheless it's present there too, so back to the main conversation-
We know Caitlyn regrets it, but does she ever understand why it's so fucked up that she did that? Vi has a rush of emotions after realizing what Cait has done and is happy to stay with her, but once they... finish in that prison, does Vi really respect herself as an individual who has gone through some tough shit or is it a passive "fuck it we ball" attitude all the way to the finale where she wears once again the enforcer badge?
Caitlyn's personal character development (one that has to do with seemingly grief alone and nothing to do with classism and power dynamics which are a massive part of the problem both on a micro and macro level) shouldn't be something that "makes up" for what she did to Vi in episode 3, and because Vi's character was criminally neglected we never really get to see her actually give a shit about herself beyond, allegedly, her relationship with Cait- which is fucked, considering Vi always ever only sees herself in relation to others (Cait or Jinx for the most part) and never as a stand alone person.
That's why that conversation was pretty much needed here.
Aside from the fact that having a conversation with a partner isn't just saying "sorry", it's about being vulnerable, letting them know you see them, telling them where you stand, being just openly honest with one another etc. (aka is an integral part of the relationship itself), it also would've been an excellent way to let all the development they couldn't show for a lack of time still shine through dialogue.
No, it's not a "wanting things spelled out", it's a "they quite literally did that a bunch of times already in this very season, so they might as well do it for the main romance too since a conversation would also be fitting for the current situation"; examples might include that one scene with Silco and Ekko in episode 7 about forgiveness, or that one scene of Isha and Jinx where Jinx literally spells out "hey you remind me of Powder, meaning myself when I was younger, the younger self I thought I left behind-" (insert that one clip of Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove).
And before anyone puts words in my mouth, this isn't coming from a place of hate for either Caitlyn and Vi or Caitvi as a ship; engaging in criticism isn't hate for what's being critiqued, so please don't assume that some conversations don't come from a place of love for the show and the characters just because they don't openly praise every bit of what we got.
edit: ...tell you what, the more I think about it the more it seems that the issues I have with how this ship comes to be aren't even super specific to these characters and their relationship, but are actually the same exact things I don't love about the general writing of season 2 on a bigger scale (lack of commentary on class oppression, character arcs that feel unfinished or cut short, the theme of love and forgiveness ending up undermining the seriousness of some situations- I'm not complaining about the theme itself nor I'm saying it comes out of nowhere, I'm saying that probably due to the pacing/lack of time we can't sit with how fucked up some stuff is before getting to the point of "love > anything else"... which isn't a wrong sentiment, I'm just talking about the journey to get there)

On Mia Winters, misogyny, and abuse
As should be pretty obvious by now, I love Mia Winters. I honestly think sheās one of the most compelling characters in this whole damn franchise.
But let me make clear: you donāt have to love her. Miaās canonically done a lot of shady shit in her time, and her relationship with Ethan has real problems. There are perfectly viable interpretations where the only thing really holding it together is his own denial. Only I never seem to get to read any of those takes, because the most common characterisations Mia gets in fic are an irredeemable monster, or a cardboard cutout who exists only to be written out as quickly as possible. And to write Mia out to that degree doesnāt just do her character a disservice, it does Ethan a disservice, and a big one.
The amount of Mia-bashing I see out there in this fandom turns my stomach. Itās not just the slash fans whoād rather ship Ethan with another dude. I have seen Mia loudly bashed in tags on het or gen fic in which she does not even appear. I have seen male fans reviewing these games on youtube who treat her the exact same way. But itās never more frustrating than when that hate comes from the same fans whoāll turn around and talk about characters like Chris or even Lady Dimitrescu (she who canonically abuses her and murders her servants, and, yāknow, eats people without a shred of remorse) like theyāre perfectly forgivable and have done no real wrong. And donāt get me wrong: I love Lady D, but I love her because sheās magnificently evil. Mia? Miaās a whole lot more complicated.
But to really explain why this hate makes me so uncomfortable, Iām going to have to start with the start of Resident Evil 7, and Miaās very first scenes in this whole franchise.
Let me quickly summarise the opening of that game. A man whose wife disappeared without explanation suddenly gets a message about her whereabouts. He travels to an isolated location, breaks in, and finds her. She denies ever sending him that message, and seems incredibly distressed that heās there at all. They fight. It ends with him sinking an axe into her neck and shooting her several times with a handgun. But see, he didnāt do anything wrong! It was all self-defence! She started it! She was acting crazy!
If you didnāt spot it, the whole opening of RE7 reads uncomfortably like a story about a woman escaping an abusive relationship, then being tracked down and murdered by her ex.
Obviously, I am not here to tell you Ethanās abusive. Heās not, weāve got no reason to imagine he is. He was legitimately acting in self-defence.
But the fact the first thing Ethan has to do in this game is find the balls to kill his own wife ā that a whole new era of Resi games has opened with a sequence so easily read as a sympathetic justification for how a man might perfectly innocently track down his missing spouse and "have" to kill her ā that made those opening minutes into by far the most uncomfortable part of this whole franchise for me. Shit like this really happens. I mean it, I will track down the fucking statistics on women who are murdered after trying to leave an abusive partner if I have to.
What happens to āMiaā in the opening to RE8 isnāt much better: it's as textbook a fridging as any Iāve ever seen. Yes, itās a fridging that gets retconned away later when she turns up alive, but the fact thatās even possible speaks to just how awful and confusing her death is. The game opens with Miaās violent murder at the hands of this seriesā longest running āheroā, and the event is framed entirely in terms of how awful it is for her husband. That's as frigid as a fridging gets.
The eventual reveal that the real Mia was just trapped alone in a cell being experimented on by a madwoman for god knows how long doesnāt actually make it better. The horror Mia goes through in both these games is a footnote, barely explored.
I bring these events up not to condemn the RE franchise, not to say that including these sequences was unconscionable, or that violence against women can never be shown in a horror title. A quick glance at my tumblr should demonstrate how much I adore these games. Tropes like fridging become problems only because theyāre so ubiquitous they can come to define almost the only roles women get to play, not because any individual example is necessarily grounds for outrage. If anything, thereās just as much to analyse in all the hate thrown at characters like Ethan Winters (or his predecessor, Jonathan Harker) as a archtypical examples of sexism against men ā backlash against the very idea of a male character in the disempowered role of horror victim, usually reserved for women.
But with this context in mind, my god is it uncomfortable to see people talk about Mia as irredeemable monster who deserves to suffer more. People who will valorise the likes of Chris Redfield, who didnāt even bother to stop to tell Ethan thatās not Mia, yet talk about Mia like being shot to death in her own living room was only what she deserved. That is just a whole load of yikes.
And given that both games open with Mia being violently killed by a male protagonist (twice in RE7, with the player in control), it sure is convenient how so many people have managed to āfindā the evidence that proves sheās the real villain. You donāt have to think too hard about Chris Redfield as a violent maniac or Ethan Winters being forced to kill his own wife if itās okay to inflict violence on this woman. āYes, but she shouldnāt have done [X]ā¦ā or even āBut what if sheās the real abuserā is a narrative that gets thrown at real women in abusive relationships all the time ā especially when the man is a friend of whoeverās casting judgement, or even a celebrity. Real world examples of this shit in the wild run the gamut from wild fan-takes on The Shining āprovingā that actually the abused wife was the ārealā abuser all along, right up to the ongoing hate campaign against Amber Heard. People donāt want to have to think badly of someone they admire, and will take any excuse to shift the blame. The stakes are infinitely lower when weāre talking about fictional characters, but the same pattern plays out.
And look, I do get it. Itās easy to go into these games and come out with a negative opinion of Mia. Sheās the one who lures you into danger in RE7, acts all innocent, and then comes at Ethan with a chainsaw ā and when you finally find out her big secret at the end, it turns out she was working for the people who created Eveline from the start! Youāre really not given a lot of reasons to invest in Ethan and Miaās relationship before sheās suddenly coming at him with a knife, and the fact she never does get to come clean to him in canon leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Itās really easy to go into RE8, note all the glaring signs that Ethanās relationship with Mia isnāt healthy, and draw your own conclusions about a woman we donāt hardly even see again for most of the runtime of the game. Half this goddamn fandom still seems to think Heisenberg is actually a lycan, ffs ā most of what people think they know about Mia is more meme than fact, and the rest is pretty surface level. Basic media literacy is not exactly high out there in the tumblrweeds (let alone the rest of the internet).
But as for the idea that Miaās responsible for all the horrors Ethan went through, people seem to forget that Mia herself went through so much worse. Ethan spent a day in the Bakersā property, and a day in the village. Mia spent years trapped in the Bakersā property, and days at least imprisoned in Mirandaās lab, knowing exactly how much danger her family were in, helpless to save them. Sheās no innocent herself, but ye gods has she already suffered for her crimes.
So with all that out of the way, well, whatās the actual āevidenceā that Mia herself was abusive? No-one's coming into this one without some bias, but letās at least give it a fair shake.
Right upfront, I want to recognise that in both fiction and reality, women can be abusers, and men can be victims. Abuse in heterosexual relationships is far more likely to occur with the man as the abuser, but the reverse does happen, and the fact culture at large can be so eager to cast the woman as the villain doesnāt make it any easier for the real male victims of abuse to get recognition and help. Society as a whole is still just really shitty about enabling or excusing real abuse.
But the idea that Mia was abusive has very little to back it up. Whatever you make of āherā interactions with Ethan at the start of the game, the fact remains: thatās not Mia, and the fact sheās acting so strangely is meant to be our clue that something much bigger than a little marital strife is going on here. Knowing all this doesnāt really make the scene where sheās violently executed less disturbing, but you canāt miss the hints we donāt yet know the full story.
So the question becomes, is there any evidence that the real Mia was abusive? Iāve dug into this one a bit before in my post about trying to figure out the timeline of exactly when Mia was replaced, but there are no definitive answers as to how long Miranda's been living in their house. To summarise a long post (and a surprisingly lively timeline of events from the days before the game begins): the most likely intent seems to be that Mirandaās been posing as Mia for less than a week, though a lot of the vibes of the scene give me the impression itās been several weeks at least. Ultimately, thatās going to come down to your own interpretation.
The Mia mentioned in Ethanās diary who blew up at him at the hospital could be the real Mia, but more likely isnāt: you canāt really use her to argue anything definitive, one way or another. The Mia from the flashback where Ethan gets the call from Roseās doctor is the real Mia, but if you think getting upset when your husband brushes off your obvious distress over your daughterās health makes you abusive, then nothing I say here is going to convince you otherwise.
The only ārealā evidence that Mia might be a problem is one line you might hear from Ethan while taking Rose to bed, and it is admittedly a red flag: your motherās scary when sheās angry.
And to anyone whose whole hatred of Mia has been built backwards from this one line ā especially anyone whoās grown up in a dysfunctional household themselves ā hell, I get it. It is one really yikes thing for Ethan to say about his wife.
But in Miaās defence, I can only point out that, well, yes, canonically, she is scary when sheās angry.
Oh, did I say angry? I meant fucking possessed.
And if Ethanās bringing up the spectre of that time, even subconsciously, maybe that should be an even bigger clue that the Mia in this house right now isnāt Mia.
But what really shows this line for what it is is that weāve seen the real Mia angry. Weāve seen her cold fury at Eveline, daring to go right back to asking ācan we be a family now?ā within hours forcing Mia to assault her own husband with a chainsaw. Weāve seen her frustration at Ethanās own denial, and weāve seen her stalk out of the room when he blows off an important conversation for a call from work. Weāve seen her advance on Chris after he shut her down, demanding, Where is my husband? Where is my daughter?!
We have never seen her angry without real justification. Her anger is neither violent nor disproportionate. Itās consistently purposeful, focused, and contained. There is nothing scary about the real Miaās anger, unless youāre threatened by the very idea she might have something valid to be angry about.
There is evidence of tension in the Wintersā marriage from before Mirandaās arrival, but it takes a very different form ā most evident in the flashback scene where Ethan receives the call from Roseās doctor. Far from Mirandaās brusque, dismissive copy of her, the real Mia is anxious and depressed, scared of what Roseās results might reveal. Here, Ethanās the one brushing her concerns aside (āWe talked about this [ā¦] Rose is fine!ā) He recognises there seems to be something Miaās not telling him, says they should talk about it, but then immediately brushes the conversation off when he gets a call from work, while Mia storms out of the room.
You can certainly read Mia as a hypocrite here, getting angry at Ethan for not knowing things sheās deliberately kept from him. But itās Ethan who decides a call from work is more important than a conversation with his wife ā someone who is obviously distressed, canonically still on a regime of drugs after the traumatic events of RE7, very likely suffering PTSD along with Ethan, and maybe even some form of postpartum depression. We donāt know anything about Ethanās work, so thereās no point in speculating about how much he āneedsā to take that call. Miaās no clear villain here ā quite the opposite.
Personally, I tend towards taking this scene as evidence that Mia has tried to talk to Ethan about what really happened to him, but hasnāt managed to get him to face the truth. For all that Ethan supposedly wants to talk about the past, itās a defining plot point that heās badly in denial himself.
Or they could both be at some fault here: Ethan unwilling to face the truth, while Mia is reluctant to force him to face something she knows will hurt him and bring him distress. Even when Mia says outright that she ātried to keep this a secret, butā¦ā to Chris at the end of the game, the implication is as much that sheās tried to keep it a secret from people like Chris, who might decide Ethan is dangerous. Sheās lied to protect him before, and if sheās still lying to him about her past with the Connections, then the fact that knowing the truth will hurt Ethan is obviously among her reasons. Protecting Ethan has always been among Miaās top priorities ā even at her own expense.
The only other real hints we get about Miaās inner life come from the glimpses of her we get in Donnaās domain. But Iām hesitant to read too much into these, given how unclear it is how much is just a manifestation of Ethanās own anxieties. If anything, the āMiaā in these scenes almost seems to have some far worse secret than simply having not told Ethan something he really ought to have put together on his own, and Iād kind of love to see that explored too ā at least as long as that goes somewhere more interesting than round umpteen of āand thatās why Mia sucksā.
But my point here isnāt that you have to read any of these scenes the same way I do. I do think itās important to recognise that nothing written for a game like RE is truly character-driven; scenes exist to serve the plot far more than to reflect consistent character motivations or hold up to fridge logic (which, letās face it, is the real reason for most of Chrisā horrific behaviour in this game, let alone anyone elseās). The result is rarely super consistent, and leaves ample space for multiple interpretations of anyoneās motivations. Regardless, the idea thereās any hard evidence that Ethan and Miaās relationship is dysfunctional, or that whateverās wrong is Miaās fault alone, is going to be incredibly hard to justify.
Any assertion that Ethan and Mia are somehow on the verge of divorce also needs to be weighed against the masses of evidence of how much they love each other ā the number of times Mia has said she loves Ethan, up to and including (yes, Iām bringing this up again) how ready she is to die for him in RE7. Her speech to Chris at the end of RE8 states explicitly that being together with Ethan and Rose is the only thing that matters to her. āMia, Iām sorry, I love you,ā are some of the last words Ethan ever speaks ā and I canāt help but read into how the moment he finally pushes Rose into Chrisā arms so they can get away with him weighing them down is right after he learns that Mia is alive, and thus implicitly that Rose wonāt be alone if Ethan doesnāt make it. And good god does that scene break my heart every time.
Itās worth recognising that the fact Ethan and Mia love each other doesnāt inherently mean their relationship is healthy, or that you have to love them together as much as I do. Like I said up top, you donāt have to like Mia, and you donāt have to justify not liking her if you donāt. I would genuinely like to see fics where Mia and Ethanās supposedly-necessary break up feels in character. Where Ethan loves her but just canāt deal with the resentment and the fallout over all the lies she told him, where he's been clinging to his 'happy ending' with Mia after surviving the Bakers so hard he can't face the fact things just aren't working, or where heās having to face that their relationship only ever really worked because she was away so much. It will break my heart, but fiction is allowed to do that.
But god, it would be nice if people could just take the bashing below an eleven around this place. The number of times Iāve had to sigh and back-button out of reading something, because yet another author has decided to project their own hatred for Mia onto the husband whoās still reeling from watching her being violently murdered in front of himā¦ it gets fucking old, yāknow?
I would really like to think that in the year of our lord 2024, fandom would be a bit past this thing where they bash the canonical female love interest in the name of shipping the hero with another dude. People will bend over backwards to try and cast Heisenberg and Chris as guys who really care about consent and worry about Ethan getting hurt, because heaven forbid anyone be caught shipping something slightly problematic. And yet misogyny still somehow gets a pass.
You do not have to love Mia. You donāt even have to like her. But ye gods, the hate she gets is baseless and absurd.
Hasn't this poor woman suffered enough?
(And on that note, I promise I am finally done soapboxing in defence of Mia Winters, thank you for bearing with me for this long.)

I didn't really like the helmet grab by Michonne in towl. I didn't think it was necessary for them to make her do that even though I know they were trying to show how angry she was. Am I overthinking this?
forgive me but I actually think you're not thinking enough. You're not thinking about what's happened from michonne's perspective. even if you were, you're not extending her any empathy because writing off her as just "angry" does not cut it here
....Michonne had to carry on believing rick was dead for FIVE YEARS, raising their kids despite that grief and then when she was given the smallest hope he was alive she gave up another 2 years with her kids, risking her life in the wastelands, surviving chlorine poisoning, and enduring more fucking trauma with nothing keeping her going but the fact that she loved him and would not give up looking...... AND THEN she finds him against all those odds and rick had the CAUCACITY to try and trick her into ABANDONING HIM and insinuate that she DOESN'T TRULY LOVE HIM UNLESS SHE DOES??? of fucking COURSE she rips that dumb fucking helmet off his head!! she wants him to say that nonsense to her FACE, hear how insane it sounds, and be greeted with the only appropriate response to an assertion so ludicrous: silence.
When my dad and I watched that episode we both agreed rick actually got off easy for trying to pull that shit after what michonne had been through. My dad even left the room when rick was bragging about his stoopid plan to trick michonne into leaving to jadis because my dad is very sensitive to second hand embarrassment and rick was so fucking idiotic for trying to do that to michonne and thinking it would work.
ALSO.....something that I've ranted about before is this idea of an empathy gap between how people see white characters and characters of colour (ESPECIALLY Black characters) because such is the racism of the world that people simply don't empathise or even sympathise with characters of colour because they've been conditioned not to. Years of racist media conditions you to empathise with white characters almost instinctively even when they're wrong. In this case, rick was wrong. Totally wrong, despite his intentions. He was dishonest, condescending, and inconsiderate. Michonne had every right to be angry and every right to show him how angry she was. The fact that you're uncomfortable with that maybe means you haven't really paid mind to what michonne has been through and maybe you haven't done that because she's a Black woman. Personally, I loved that scene so much and I also love all the scenes in ep4 where she's pissed off because michonne isn't just rick's love interest she's a protagonist in her own right and she's NEVER not once accepted less, even from him.
anyway, hope you don't think I'm being mean! I've just seen weird discourse about that scene that is so unnecessary. It simply wouldn't be a thing if people actually cared about michonne as a character, rather than just as one half of a ship.
#towl#richonne#the walking dead#I rmr in ep 4 when he said that shit AGAIN I was like THAT DOES IT IT'S TIME TO DIVORCE HIS ASS

Just wanted to tell you that pitch fefnep is real as fuck and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
Are there any other pitch ships you seriously live for?
My big one is Eridan <3< Calliope (#callidan let's make it happen)! There's a lot of karmic stuff linking them together - I'm not going to say it ALL here, but suffice to mention that cherubs are naturally attracted pitch-wise to people who resemble the half they lost in predomination, and Eridan literally made his username "cal" (caligula, so it's even 8 letters, lmao).
Personality-wise, though, fully-character-developed Eridan and Calliope are like a match made in hell. Eridan is violent, obsessed with murder, deliberately likes to style himself as an arrogant, evil despot, says a lot of slurs, is a complete moron who doesn't listen to people but believes in stuff very very strongly anyways, and, assuming he's finished his character arc, somehow still manages to be a force for good. This makes him similar to Caliborn in a lot of ways (Hussie even calls Eridan a sort of proto-Caliborn MULTIPLE times in the book commentary), and Calliope would have a lot to get infuriated by, especially since that last point would give Eridan that "i hate everything about you, BUT..." factor that makes a pitch relationship work.
OTOH, Calliope gets super fucking smug when she starts winning, Eridan would 100% see her as a poser wizard (who needs to load their MAGIC WAND with BULLETS????) as well as a poser troll. She would also definitely adopt a stance of "every life is precious," and already displayed compassion and forgiveness to a dangerous degree wrt Caliborn, and all of this would probably piss Eridan off. Also, Eridan is easy, and the fact that Calliope is actually willing to entertain him in pitch at all is probably enough to get him to date her in blackrom all by itself. LBR, all it really takes to date Eridan is just being willing to date Eridan. This is both a low and high bar to clear.
Given that murdering and genocide-obsessing literally kept his friends alive long enough to play the game, I just can't see Eridan ever becoming a pacifist, or even coming to see murder as a bad thing (even if he'd feel bad about and apologize for murdering his friends specifically).
It'd also be pretty bad if the Hope player (ideals, convictions, faith, and also turning fake stuff real) had wrong beliefs, so Eridan's character arc wouldn't so much see his obsession with murder dropped so much as having it reoriented, his focus becoming "I care about my friends and will do anything to make sure they succeed in creating a better world. I'd kill for them. I will kill for them. I am going to kill for them."
He's still kind of a token evil teammate as a result - the guy who pipes up at every town hall to go, "y'know, murder is on the table. I'm not saying that I want to do it or even that we should, but I'm just reminding you that it's a tool in our arsenal, and something our enemies might resort to" as well as the debbie downer who reminds people that meat comes from animals that used to have families.
Plus, given that his hipster stuff ties in with being a Hope player - the staunch and firm beliefs in there being "better" stuff, the unshakeable conviction and dedication toward being anti-mainstream, and the fact that it's one of his few genuine interests besides magic - that trait actually gets exacerbated in lieu of the fake pro-empire, dualscar-emulating stuff he was doing before.
So, basically, Eridan given the full redemption arc + character development combo would spit out an Eridan that's MORE annoying than he was before? Because, like, not only is he a turbo pretentious hipster now, but he's also the "heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made an excellent point" guy. He's comfortable in his own skin, no longer trying to be something he isn't. Instead, with absolute, non-negotiable, unshakeable faith in himself, he is 100% of what he is.
"What he is," of course, being a neurotic, murder-obsessed, low-empathy lunatic with zero social skills, a pretentious hipster, a cringe-ass wizard who won't shut up about it and has no self-awareness of how cringe he's being, still 100% aggro 100% of the time, and an obsessive simp. In a very leftist/existentialist way, he would fully own up to having done horrible things, and being willing to do them again, should the circumstances call for them. "Shameless" is probably a good word to use, here.
Meanwhile, Calliope is genuinely well-meaning as fuck, even if she doesn't fully grasp things like "humans going trickster mode is bad actually" and that her fascination/obsession with the trolls and kids as "characters" still borders on dehumanizing.
Still, it's clear that she operates from a place of love and admiration, and given a lease on life free from her brother and surrounded by friends, I do genuinely believe Calliope's arc culminates in her being the embodiement of the ideas that we must be good to each other, kind to each other, loving to each other, and trust and care for each other. After all, she has it within her; her alternate self was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of several universes.
Still, Calliope as this cosmic, karmic force of good - what the comic ultimately exonorates and treats as something worthy of protection and rescue - sets her up against Eridan ideologically really well. Calliope represents "we must do good" in the most optimistic sense - people will be kind back if you are kind to them, and to create a loving society, a caring society, we must care about others, we must believe in others.
Meanwhile, Eridan would represent "we must do good" in the most dark and pessimistic sense - we must be prepared to sacrifice for each other, we hold duties to one another, we must be our best selves because we owe it to each other, we must not accept complacency, we must be ever-vigilant of our worst tendencies, we must take responsibility. No society exists without sacrifice, no revolution is without bloodshed, and nothing is ever worth fighting for that won't eventually need to be fought for - and who will do the fighting? The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools, etc.
Like how pitch FefNep works for me on this axis of pragmatism vs. idealism - Feferi and Nepeta are both fundamentally duking it out over what it means to create and administer a society, with Nepeta representing unbridled freedom, while Feferi brings to the table controlling restraint. Neither is fully correct on their own - Nepeta is anarchic, and so her ideals are inherently unstable, while Feferi is fascistic, which can cause great harm. It's Hegalian dialectics. Thesis, antithesis, and their union/rivalry is the synthesis into a greater nuanced balance between the two.
Callidan works for me in the same way: Calliope and Eridan are both fundamentally aiming to create a world that's good, and Calliope says, we must be kind, while Eridan says, we must be cruel. They're both correct, and both have an ideal that can't stand on its own. Calliope's hardline stance of pure compassion lets bad apples take advantage, while Eridan's hardline stance of sacrifice and personal responsibility leads to misery and unfulfillment. Together, they strike a harmony.
And also they'd be so funny together. Like
UU: i believe that in order to create a kind and beaUtifUl world, we mUst be kind to each other. we mUst believe in each other no matter what. there is no fUtUre if it is not boUnd in love, trUst, and empathy.
CA: yeah fuckin right dont tell me you actually BELIEVVE that codswwallop those ideals sure held up wwhen wwe MURDERED THE EVVER LOVVIN SHIT OUTTA YOUR BROTHER
CA: reality aint so fuckin simple evvery societys got sacrifices need doin evvil bastards need killin and somebodys got to pull the trigger
UU: i swear, speaking with yoU is aboUt as pleasant as a sandpaper facial.
UU: and yet i continUe to do so, and do yoU know why? it's becaUse i do, in fact, believe in what i said, and i will, in fact, continUe to treat yoU with *love and compassion* despite yoUr repeated efforts to throw mine into the bin!!!!!!!!!!!
CA: i nevver asked for your so called lovve and compassion skullhag and i dont bloody need it either
UU: well, that's jUst too bad, isn't it? poor eridan, yoU were treated so poorly on alternia, and now yoU're angry and Upset all the time. my heart aches for yoUr plight!
CA: ill showw you a flippin PLIGHT scumskull meet me at the usual place
UU: <kisses> ~3U
UU's computer exploded!
uranianUmbra [UU] began cheering caligulasAquarium [CA]
UU: STOP DOING THAT.
Also... they're both British... so it's British on British violence... IDK that personally really elevates it for me

Acolyte theory stuff...
In the trailer and in the youngling training scene, Sol says this:
Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you. We must not trust them.
And it REALLY jumped at me, due to my theory that Mae was not actually there with Osha on that gangway. They both think she fell to her death, but has been shown running through the forest on fire, and also the next day is neither injured nor even singed.
We also have Yord tell Osha that the Sith "gets in your head and stays there", which Osha replies with "My mother could do that".
We have this yet unseen shot of all of them with black eyes, so I think we're yet to see the witches "true" work.
There's also a shot of Kelnacca attacking Torbin, and Torbin getting on a speeder at night. There's no way of knowing though if Torbin is defending or attacking, or if Kelnacca is black-eyed in this shot or not.
We have a lot of hints that Qimir was actually there that night. He expects Sol to remember him. He thinks Sol has "hiding his face", which could mean lying to Osha.
The way he speaks about his inner darkness, I wonder if the witches' power reveals the real darkness hidden inside their heart or something?
Also!! While Torbin went on to isolate himself and feels awful enough about it all to commit suicide over it, Kelnacca has been studying the witches' symbols, crazy old man style :
It's the same design Mae has :
Clearly Kelnacca has been obsessed with it since then, so it has to be relevant somehow. It's possible that the Jedi fucked up by interrupting the ritual.
Finally... There's obviously a theory that Mae and Osha will actually switch. And I kind of agree. Rewatching episode 4 today with friends, I noted how Sol once again asked Osha to have faith in Mae. He does so in episode 2, and in 4 he says "but she remains your family". Implying she should make her peace and believe in her.
And MAE does that to Osha. Even after accusing her of being brainwashed, she's so overwhelmed with their reunion, she embraces her fully. She follows Sol's lesson more than Osha, who again displays very black and white thinking. She's extremely binary against Mae. And there she twists her arm and calls her a criminal, even though she could have soooo easily asked Mae to be understanding and to help her get Sol to the ship and at least hear him out.
Osha is constantly unable to forgive. I think she's going to get Qimir's twisted version of events, and Sol will give Mae his version, and each will fall into place.
Now that being said... Sol will have bad spaceship issues (next episode most likely, from the trailer shots of the ship tumbling through space ice and Sol piloting) and since he and Mae both heard the word "Sith", I don't actually like their chances of survival.
Osha will become acolyte, and Qimir and her will found the knights of Ren or whatever. The real mystery being WTF happened on Brendock.
